Take 47 - Creator and Showrunner Derek Simonds, The Sinner


Listen Later

We talk to Derek Simonds about his experience taking up the reins of The Sinner.
He talks openly about the overwhelming experience of taking on the multi-disciplinary showrunner role, the pressure it created and the toll it took on his health.
Derek described the pressure of rushing a second season to meet network deadlines, how much he’s learned along the way and he also explores the preparation he does with his cast.

An in-depth discussion about vulnerability, pressure and creating an award-winning show for a first time showrunner.
